Joshua 4:24 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ver. 24. That all the people of the earth might know, &c.— "That all the nations in this country and its adjacencies, to which the fame of this prodigy shall spread itself, may learn the infinite power of the Lord, the only true God, to whom you peculiarly belong; and that you, O Israelites, especially, for whom that God hath performed so many miracles, may inviolably persevere to render him that worship and obedience which he requires at your hands." To fear God, it is well known, has all the energy that we apply to it in this paraphrase; and therefore the LXX have rendered the latter clause of the verse, that ye may worship the Lord your God in every thing you do, i.e. in your whole conduct.
